+NWG/RFC #429 Jonathan B. Postel (UCLA-NMC)
+NIC #13281 12-DEC-72
+
+
+
+ Character Generator Process
+
+
+
+I hereby propose that there be a standard process implemented on
+whatever hosts desire which generates character data with out any
+regard to input. In some sense the process is the converse of the
+discard process [RFC 348]. Many hosts have an existing terminal
+testing program [e.g. TTYTST] which would suit this function
+adequately.
+
+This Character Generator process would listen for a request for
+connection and execute the Initial Connection Protocol (ICP) as
+specified in NIC 7104 the "Current Network Protocols" notebook. Upon
+completion of the ICP the Character Generator process would begin to
+send characters into the network as buffer space is made available .
+The Character Generator process is terminated by closing the
+connections.
